Last month Empire launched an exclusive competition for its readers to design a webtastic poster that would be given away with every purchase of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 steelbook at the UK's leading entertainment retailer, HMV. The competition garnered a huge amount of entries that ranged from the creative to the comic and back again, leaving the artistic bods here at Empire HQ and down the road at HMV's head office with a tough time choosing their favourite, but after much deliberation, a winner was picked. The man behind ol' Webhead himself, Stan Lee, did us the honour of announcing the winner – so click play on the video below to see who won and then scroll through our gallery of top ten entries. And thanks to everyone who entered, true believers!
